I just ported the MetaXR SDK v65 to Unreal Engine 5.4.1! It's a shame that Meta takes so much time to update its Unreal plugin. That's why I've decided to port evey new versions to the latest version of Unreal Engine, when it's released. Plugin v65 for 5.4.1 -> https://lnkd.in/eZWRbShq Be careful because dynamic resolution is broken in this build. #ue5 #meta #metaquest #cpp #gamedev https://lnkd.in/eeWWpc9k

Great read on how AI is transforming the UI/UX design process. The AI assisted iteration and AI assisted design to code transition are game changing! This is just another practical application of AI in tech.

Does anyone else feel like AR has been a buzzword forever, and yet when you try to see actual UX/UI images they're nonexistent? Alex Heath from The Verge finally got a chance to check out Meta's Orion AR glasses, but the description of the interface was sadly lacking. It's not just the physical artifact I want to celebrate- but the UX/UI work that Meta designers put into Orion’s interface. I can't imagine how proud I'd be of working on something like this... #AugmentedReality #ARDesign #UXUI #ProductDesign #DesignInnovation #MetaAR #ARInterface #EmergingTech #UXTrends #DigitalExperience #theverge https://lnkd.in/g_zEXYNZ

Have a look at the new LLaMa 8b #instruct by #Meta, running locally on my 4090 RTX (the video has not been speed-up). I think it's outstanding that it can match and sometimes surpass the previous LLaMa 2 70b, a model which was almost 10 times bigger. And, as you can see...it is FAST! p.s.: I used Ollama to run it, on Windows. https://lnkd.in/dhHyZUQJ #llama #llama3 #meta #nvidia #rtx #llm #generativeAI #genAI

Mixed reality has a software and content problem. But Meta knows this. Today, Meta connect announced some great improvements in hopes of easing developer friction and increasing the amount of apps published. I wanted to share some of my favorites below. - Camera Passthrough API This is the big one that many have been asking for. Until recently, developers could not utilize the cameras on device to identify objects when developing for the Horizon platform. This will allow developers to identify objects which could be used to implement new types of anchors for 2d planes or integrate AI alongside object identification for a more cohesive experience in augmented reality. I'd love to know more about the privacy features associated with the new camera Passthrough API as it balances developer access for functionality and user privacy. Still, this access is crucial to making AR applications that can identify and exist within the users space. - 2D app increased support including React native This is going to lead to so much more content available on platform, with developers having the ability to port their existing 2D apps to the Horizon OS platform, I foresee an increase in utility for augmented reality use for productivity. - Progressive web app packaging The increased support for web-based applications and sites will allow for even more ways for developers to enter the ecosystem without friction. The ability to have your web app in store, discoverable while allowing for in-app payments is a great new way for existing sites and developers to create experiences for users. - Lastly DOCUMENTATION ORGANIZATION. This is CRUCIAL. The platform has developed quickly and often, which is great, but has led to deprecated SDKs and new SDKs coexisting within platforms like the Unity asset store. Having the documentation and resources updated regularly within the meta site will be a tremendous help in reducing friction for developers.

☁️WebGL Cloud Update! I am now rendering the SDF into a WebGL3DRenderTarget. This seems to perform better as the number of SDF calls needed increased. i.e. when there are more pixels to march, i.e. as you zoom in. Going to try cutting 3D texture depth 3x by packing 4 depth layers into the RGBA channels of a single layer. Should reduce memory usage. After that is the fun part - creating the "Perlin-Worley" noise to make the cloud more fluffy looking 😋 #threejs #webgl #creativecoding #react

This week on "On AI," I welcome back AI aficionado and philosopher, Lev Gorelov, for an insightful conversation. Link to episode: https://lnkd.in/ecYbq2uJ With a particular focus on the recent advancements with Claude III, Lev contrasts Claude III's approach to generations—geared towards creating engaging, personality-driven content—with the more traditional model (#openai 's #chatgpt) that prioritize business-oriented, "buttoned-up" outputs. He also explains the fundamentals of why, using the same training data (the entirety of the internet), the outputs vary. Throughout the episode, Lev shares insights into how these tools are not just about generating content or improving human productivity, but are enhancing the creative process. Specifically: * Giving us practical methods on how to leverage LLM's as collaborative partners that help bridge ideas and refine storytelling. * Emphasizing the importance of using AI tools creatively and responsibly, * Highlighting their role in brainstorming and editing rather than replacing human creativity. Join Beth and Lev as they explore the future of AI in creative professions and education, pondering the broader implications of these technologies on our understanding of originality and creativity (you might want a pen handy to take some notes). #AIPhilosopher #AINinja #Claude3 #BethOnAI #GenerativeAITalks #AIExperience #CreativeAISystems #AIContentCreation #PhilosophyMeetsAI #LevGorolevOnAI #OnAIpodcast #openai #anthropic #ClaudeIIIInsights #CreativeAI #AIInEducation #GenerativeContent #AIandCreativity #StorytellingWithAI #AIForCreatives #FutureOfAI #podcast #podcasting #aipodcasting

2 years ago, we announced ICTools realtime #production #pipeline focusing on #animation workflows. It wasn’t pretty but it definitely was powerful! Last year, we expanded the pipeline to cover: - 15+ out-of-the-box #integrations - Additional #workflows to cover #realtime #vfx, #game #cinematics, #mocap and #ICVFX stages - Several new quality of life #tools - Enhanced #efficiency across board - And… we made it look nice! Today, different versions of this pipeline is being using in 10 studios who have already pushed +80,000 shots! More to come! #unrealengine #ue5 #unrealfest #perforce #automation #datafirst #media #entertainment #gamedev #technology #innovation
